We will be discussing how too many times two people begin a relationship with no knowledge of who they are in a relationship with...only to realize that the person they are with is not at all the person they thought they met. Everyone has a representative that they send out on dates, but this representative cannot last more than 90 days. Unfortunately for most of us, we have already slept with the person, and sometimes even begin living with them. The difficulty with this is that we end up mistaking infatuation, desire, and even sex for love, but when we try to operate in these things, we lose the ability to learn how to operate in love. It is best that we get to know each other first and foremost, in order to develop and maintain a relationship that will enable us tol learn how to operate in love.
1 Peter 2:11King James Version (KJV)
11 Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;
1 Peter 2:11The Message (MSG)
11-12 Friends, this world is not your home, so don’t make yourselves cozy in it. Don’t indulge your ego at the expense of your soul. Live an exemplary life among the natives so that your actions will refute their prejudices. Then they’ll be won over to God’s side and be there to join in the celebration when He arrives.
